Although the airline’s Nigerian office
has yet to issue an official statement on the development, sources told newsmen
that the suspension was due to diplomatic issues from Namibia.
According to one of the sources, “There are some diplomatic issues that need to be resolved
with the Namibian authorities. The issue has nothing to do with the high
commission in Nigeria but with the high commission and immigration in Namibia.”
According to the source, the
authorities have commenced diplomatic engagement to have the issues resolved,
adding that there were no issues from the Nigerian end.
“Presently, Nigerians going
to Namibia have no issues with processing visas but airlines look at
profitability; you can’t be filling the aircraft from this side and flights
from that side are empty, so these are issues that need to be resolved from
that side,” the source added.

A statement from
the airline’s headquarters in Windhoek, however, quoted Air Namibia’s acting
General Manager, Commercial Services, Wimpie
van Vuuren, as saying that a recent ban on issuance of Nigerian visas to
Namibians could be linked to allegations that Nigerians were ill-treated by
Namibian border control officials at Hosea
Kutako International Airport when arriving or transiting through Windhoek. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html He said the airline consulted various
stakeholders to mitigate the diplomatic standoff “but all efforts proved
futile.”
The Manager, Corporate Communications
of the airline, Paul Nakawa, was
also quoted to have said Air Namibia decided to suspend this route for an
indefinite period in order to mitigate the related safety, non-compliance and
commercial risks.
“Affected passengers will be
assisted by accommodating them on flights operated by our partner airlines at
Air Namibia’s cost, or they will be refunded if they opt not to fly anymore,” he said.
Air Namibia inaugurated the
Windhoek-Lagos-Accra route in June 2018 to provide a direct service connecting
Namibia to the two West African countries.
The airline had said it would provide
inbound and outbound connections to its regional flights, connecting West
Africa via Windhoek to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Luanda, Harare, Lusaka, Vic
Falls, Gaborone Walvis Bay and Durban. (Guardian)
